The Justice Department filed new criminal charges against Hunter Biden back on December 8th.
Hunter Biden was hit with a 9-count indictment filed in the Central District of California: Tax evasion, failure to file/pay taxes, and false/fraudulent tax return.
The new indictment was handed down by Special Counsel David Weiss after a sweetheart plea deal on tax charges fell apart over the summer.
On Monday, Catherine Herridge from CBS News reported that Hunter Biden will be arraigned in California on Janunary 11, on the 9 new charges.
As reported previously by Cristina Laila – David Weiss’s investigation into Hunter Biden is ongoing. The case was assigned to the United States District Court for the Central District of California Judge Mark Scarsi, a Trump appointee.
The indictment details a “four-year scheme” to avoid the $1.4+ million tax obligations he owed between 2016 and 2019 and to file false returns.
“Between 2016 and October 15, 2020, the Defendant individually received more than $7 million in total gross income. This included in excess of $1.5 million in 2016, $2.3 million in 2017, $2.1 million in 2018, $1 million in 2019 and approximately $188,000 from January through October 15, 2020. In addition, from January through October 15, 2020, the Defendant received approximately $1.2 million in financial support to fund his extravagant lifestyle,” according to the indictment reviewed by The Gateway Pundit.
The indictment details Hunter Biden’s lavish lifestyle, drug use, and addiction to prostitutes.
“Between 2016 and October 15, 2020, the Defendant spent this money on drugs, escorts and girlfriends, luxury hotels and rental properties, exotic cars, clothing, and other items of a personal nature, in short, everything but his taxes,” the indictment read.

RELATED: There Was One Major Detail Missing From the Hunter Biden Indictment
Published December 10, 2023
Last Thursday, Hunter Biden was indicted yet again, and this time it’s really a doozy. He’s facing nine counts on tax-related charges, which could land him in prison for 17 years. As significant of a step as this is, especially when the weaponized and politicized Department of Justice (DOJ) had tried to go with a sweetheart deal, there’s still significant details missing. During the Friday episode of “The Verdict,” Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and co-host Ben Ferguson examined how something, or rather, someone, is missing.
As the co-hosts discussed how much Hunter Biden spent on what each year over four years rather than paying his taxes, Ferguson highlighted it’s important to “follow the money” when it comes to services supposedly rendered by Hunter, which speaks to money laundering since no services were offered, and how there’s a connection to President Joe Biden himself.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) and House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) have also highlighted emails Biden sent as vice president using an alias, without CC’ing his son. Ferguson thus insisted “the idea that he wasn’t involved in his son’s business world is a flat-out lie.”
While Cruz acknowledged that 17 years is “not a slap on the wrist, it’s not mild,” it still “enrages” him that the president’s name isn’t even mentioned. How they managed to keep the president’s name out of there, as Ferguson asked, is thanks to the DOJ and how they’ve been not only “profoundly politicized,” as Cruz mentioned earlier in the podcast, but also has been “obsessively focused on ‘protect the big guy.'”
At one point, the Democrats and the mainstream media have focused on how the president is just out to protect his son, an individual overcome with grief and who thus turned to the kind of lifestyle he did, which included the use of drugs. Cruz went on to describe how the narrative though, now, is to protect the president.

RELATED: Hunter Biden Faces 42 Years in Prison for Tax and Gun Charges
Published December 8, 2023
Hunter Biden faces 42 years in federal prison for nine tax and three gun charges filed by special counsel David Weiss.
Per Weiss’ indictments:
- 17 years on tax charges
- 25 years on gun charges
Weiss charged Hunter Biden on Thursday, asserting he was “engaged in a four-year scheme” to not pay at least $1.4 million in taxes “he owed for tax years 2016 through 2019 and to evade the assessment of taxes for tax year 2018 when he filed false returns.”
“If convicted, he faces a maximum penalty of 17 years in prison,” the Department of Justice wrote regarding the tax indictment. “Actual sentences for federal crimes are typically less than the maximum penalties. A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after taking into account the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.”
In September, Weiss charged Hunter Biden with gun violations: one count of false statement in the purchase of a firearm, one count of possession of a firearm by a person who is an unlawful user of or addicted to a controlled substance, and one count of false statement related to information required to be kept by federal firearms licensed dealer.
The House Oversight Committee credited the IRS whistleblowers for exposing the Biden administration’s “political interference” in the probe. Weiss was set to agree to a sweetheart plea deal with Hunter until the deal fell apart under judicial scrutiny. The judge was aware of the IRS whistleblower claims.
“This would not have been possible without the two brave IRS whistleblowers, Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler, blowing the whistle,” the committee posted on X. “Americans should applaud these men for their courage to expose the truth.”
